ETtech Exclusive | India most successful IPO market in the world for 2024: SoftBank’s Alex Clavel
Economic Times

Medial
India is considered the most successful IPO market in 2024, according to SoftBank Investment Advisers co-chief executive Alex Clavel. He attributes this success to the development of India's capital markets and progressive market regulations that have increased domestic liquidity. SoftBank portfolio firms like FirstCry, Ola Electric, and Unicommerce have recently gone public, with more IPOs, including Swiggy's $1.25 billion offering, lined up. In contrast, the US public markets have been relatively stagnant. SoftBank has invested $11 billion in the Indian digital economy and sees plenty of entrepreneurial opportunities in the country.
